Miami! Er, Sunrise! Home of this year's Pro Bowl! Feel the excitement. Zzzzzzz. Alright, everyone to the beach!

Grab your towel and let's get wet - 7:30 PM start in Florida. It's another four-point game. Panthers are just 2 points behind the Habs in the standings, with a game in hand. Both teams coming off Saturday Night shutouts. Habs have won both games against the Panthers so far this year.

Fuck my travel agent, this hotel is only "beach access" - we're quite happy to have found our new friend over at The Rat Trick. Maybe he can put us up when we come to visit.

Hot like a Florida Beach - Jaro had a weekend to die for: 2-0-0, 0.50, .984. Slovakia for the gold! Squid of course, 5 points in his last 2 games, and some hot CHicken action, more goals in his brief Habs stint than in his entire career so far. Gio has a six-game point streak. Some props for Jaro 2.0 too. He's played much better lately. For the Panthers, really only Tomas Vokoun can be considered hot, with numbers to rival Jaro: 1-0-1, 0.48, .987 in his last 2. And he has 6 shutouts already this year.

Cold like a Florida Beach this past holiday season - Metro pointless in 5. But our really cold players, Dagger and PatCHes, are now both chilling in Hamilton. As much as one can "chill" in Hamilton. Half of Florida is cold - they aren't scoring a lot of goals. Dvorak and Reinprecht pointless in 4, McCabe pointless in 6.

Shit! That jellyfish stung me - Mara's upper body injury still not healed, and Big Tits still on the long-term shelf. Has anyone even heard about any sort of progress from him? For the Panthers, leading scorer Nathan Horton just broke his leg and is out 4-6 weeks.

Let's dive right in to tonight's Habs probable forward lines, as previewed at practice yesterday:

not meaning to be rude but if you can't tell by reading these blogs and posts most of the regulars are pretty die hard fans and spend the days after a loss sulking pretty hard... go have your fun on the tsn boards arguing with maple leafs fans if you don't like it.

You want a clue?Try reading some of the past posts here to see what the site is about.If you're still confused after that, I'm sorry. For you.And if you read other posts and you still don't like it then maybe instead of complaining you could you know, fuck off to some place where the people think like you. Life's too short to piss and moan.wv - phophoof, which is pretty silly when you think about it, hardly the sort of word verification we should have to put off with on a sharp-edged, analytical hockey blog such as this. I demand better word verifications dammit!

I'd like to be the first to suggest "KD" as the nickname for Habs prospect Mac Bennett (drafted this past year).

But hey, why talk about nicknames? The never-ending Halak-Price discussion, which has no bearing on Bob's decisions and inevitably degenerates into name-calling, is obviously a much more productive use of the intertubes.

Devo is set to whip up some excitement at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.The influential new-wave innovators behind the '80s smash``Whip It'' will perform live at a medal celebration in Whistler, B.C., on Feb. 22.

Not through being cool! (Bonus for the kidz that get the edited reference)

I really hate KD. Gotta get real macaroni and make your own cheese sauce. While the macaroni's boiling, nuke the sauce in the microwave. Melt 1 tbsp butter, add some corn starch to make a rue. Add a cup of milk and stir. Nuke for a minute. Stir. Repeat until thick. About 3 minutes should do. Add whatever fucking cheese you have around. Could be cheeze whiz, cheddar, parmasan (fresh), or spray cheese if you're in USA. Any or all combinations. Add 1 tbsp or Italian seasoning and add to the macaroni. If desired, add whatever meat or meat by-products you have lying around (hamburger, tuna, hotdogs, bologna). Fuck, now I'm hungry.

It's gotta be Max Factor. I don't know where the hell I dredged that up from , but it sounds good. And, just think of all the plays you can make on it!!! Oh, it's a brand of makeup? Even better! I'm sure you can apply it to your photoshop images.

bea. That's kind of funny because I just scarfed down a supper to die for: Peanut Butter and Banana sandwich. And a big glass o' chocollate milk. Livin' the life baby! Mrs. LD is at her book club (pff, and she says hockey is a waste of time), and the kids are at a friend's house Mass Effect 2-ing. Just got a call "Dad this is friggin' awesome - we HAVE to get this right away." Such passion....

Anyway, so I figured this meal just dirties one knife, which I basically cleaned off in my armpit and returned to the knife tray. Quick rinse of the glass and voila. I could dig the single life...for a while at least.

Just joining in here before bowing out for all day meetings. Is it just me, or does it feel like the Habs have already been to Florida 4 times already this year. I feel like they've played the whole SE division every week since October. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

land on a small pacific island and was lucky to find a high speed connection to log on atdhe.i can't fuck'n believe it! br on rds.mother fucker is uglier than fuck and dumber than duh. is rds trying to scare their viewer, i think so.thanks mom and dad for an education, i might have end up at rds.

So I'm watching Bob Mackenzie's top 30 mid-season draft eligibles. At #14 he's got some Minnesota high school kid named Bjugsted at 14 (I don't know how to spell it - it's gone off the screen). Anyway, I imagine the Habs will be all over that guy.

@Moey: coincidentally, speaking of little fuckity fucks, I too saw the PS goal, but missed the hook that caused it. The coincidence? I was watching Dreger's top 10 likely to be traded. He wasn't there, but if the Stars look to be out of the playoffs, he figures THE little fuckity fuck may have a good shot at being moved. Dare to dream.

So we're back to sucking? Ok, I'll just go ahead and adjust expectations accordingly.....

Ok, recalibrated to a 4-2 loss tomorrow in TB. Perhaps 20 shots if we're lucky. Habs will go into 3rd down 3-1, score early, give us hope, actually play properly for 19 minutes, then give up empty netter in last minute. They might not be consistant in any sense of the word (how can you go from what happened Sat night to this?), but at least they're predictable.

@anon (way up) - I watched the game, and read the comments on FHF, and frankly the debate about the KAOS line etc. was a lot more entertaining than the game. Even maybe the KD recipes.

I think lines 1 and 2 (CamoPlex Moan and Gino MexiChick) played two good consecutive shifts, but that may have just been a dream. (I'm pretty sure the part where Miranda Kerr was lap dancing Jaro was a dream.)

About Four Habs Fans

The Four(-ish) Habs Fans are four(-ish) Habs fans. Three are from Montreal, though one of those is now stuck in the middle of the Red Mile. The other somehow grew up a Habs fan in the middle of Ontario Cottage Country, and now lives in Hogtown. Some of them are lawyers, so they are opinionated, and may or may not be assholes.

HabsFan29 is a lifelong Montrealer who decided the Four Habs Fans' email exchanges about the Habs were just too stupidly amusing and occasionally intelligent not to share with the world. The 29 is for the greatest (only?) Goalie-lawyer-PM candidate ever. He would like his mom to know that his meth habit is overstated on this blog for comedic effect.

HabsFan4 paid tribute to one of the finest gentlemen to ever don a Canadiens sweater. His legacy as one of the pioneers of the Gangsta Rap movement has always been understated. His Jaro posts will be recalled fondly by all.

HabsFanForever33 aka Panger is a Montrealer in Exile currently residing mere blocks from the Red Mile, yet whose passion for all things Canadiens has only embiggened with distance. HFF33 worships at the altar of St. Patrick. Panger still gets chills recalling the moment he met the greatest goal-scorer of all time, The Rocket. HFF33 is a life-long Habs fan, except during the Houle-Tremblay Era, when Le Club de Hockey Canadiens was dead to Panger.

HabsFan10 grew up watching Le Demon Blond on Radio-Canada with his unilingual English Dad in a WASPy little town in Maple Leafs country, at least until the playoffs each year, when he got to hear Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin because the Leafs played on opposite nights (if they made the playoffs at all). Rick Middleton and Cam Neely sometimes haunt his dreams. He thinks Thurso, Quebec should be declared a national historical site. If you aren't sure what the 10 in HF10 stands for, you're on the wrong site, buster.

moeman born in l'Estie'd'Québec, was baptized Maurice because well his Mom, seeing his beautiful dark locks and glaring eyes knew he'd need a namesake, actually it was his Mon Oncle Yvon that CHristened his Habstism, deep in central Ontario no less. He took life's circuitous route and blessed his own son with the name Patrick in 1993. He also has a gorgeous daughter but she's a Sens fan, so, meh. moeman loves women, wine, song, women, Habs, his kids, women, iOS Apps, hockey blogging women and women. His other passion, he hates the leaf. He also loves women.
